Sura al-Qasas

28:1. Ta, Sin, Mim.

طسم

28:2. These are the Verses of the Manifest Book.

تلك آيات الكتاب المبين

28:3. We recite to you in truth some part of the story of Musa (Moses) and Pharaoh for people who believe.

نتلوا عليك من نبإ موسى وفرعون بالحق لقوم يؤمنون

28:4. Indeed, Pharaoh had exalted himself in the land and divided its people into factions, oppressing one group among them, slaughtering their sons and sparing their women. Indeed, he was among the corruptors.

إن فرعون علا في الأرض وجعل أهلها شيعا يستضعف طائفة منهم يذبح أبناءهم ويستحيي نساءهم إنه كان من المفسدين

28:5. We desired to bestow a favour upon those oppressed in the land, to make them leaders and the inheritors (of the kingdom).

ونريد أن نمن على الذين استضعفوا في الأرض ونجعلهم أئمة ونجعلهم الوارثين

28:6. (We desired) to establish them in the land and make Pharaoh, Haman and their armies see (the fulfilment of) what they were apprehensive of.

ونمكن لهم في الأرض ونري فرعون وهامان وجنودهما منهم ما كانوا يحذرون

28:7. So We inspired Musa’s mother (saying): ‘Nurse him, but when you fear for him, put him (afloat) into the river and do not fear nor grieve. Indeed, We shall bring him back to you and make him among the messengers.’

وأوحينا إلى أم موسى أن أرضعيه فإذا خفت عليه فألقيه في اليم ولا تخافي ولا تحزني إنا رادوه إليك وجاعلوه من المرسلين

28:8. Then Pharaoh’s family picked him up, that he might be an enemy and a (cause of) sorrow to them. Indeed, Pharaoh, Haman and their armies were sinners.

فالتقطه آل فرعون ليكون لهم عدوا وحزنا إن فرعون وهامان وجنودهما كانوا خاطئين

28:9. Pharaoh’s wife said (to Pharaoh): ‘(This baby seems to be) a source of comfort for me and you. Do not kill him. Perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son.’ Yet, they did not realise (what they were doing).

وقالت امرأت فرعون قرت عين لي ولك لا تقتلوه عسى أن ينفعنا أو نتخذه ولدا وهم لا يشعرون

28:10. And the heart of Musa’s mother became empty (of patience). And she would have almost disclosed it if We had not strengthened her heart so that she might be among the believers (in Allah’s plan).

وأصبح فؤاد أم موسى فارغا إن كادت لتبدي به لولا أن ربطنا على قلبها لتكون من المؤمنين

28:11. And she said to his sister: ‘Follow him.’ So she watched him from a distance, but they were not aware.

وقالت لأخته قصيه فبصرت به عن جنب وهم لا يشعرون

28:12. And We had forbidden him to be suckled from the wet nurses since before. So she (i.e. Moses’ sister) said: ‘Shall I show you a household that will take care of him for you, and they will be his well-wishers?’

وحرمنا عليه المراضع من قبل فقالت هل أدلكم على أهل بيت يكفلونه لكم وهم له ناصحون

28:13. Thus, We returned him to his mother so she might feel comforted and not grieve. And she would know that Allah’s promise is true, though most of them do not know.

فرددناه إلى أمه كي تقر عينها ولا تحزن ولتعلم أن وعد الله حق ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون

28:14. So when he reached maturity and was firmly established (in life), We gave him wisdom and knowledge. And thus do We reward the virtuously excellent.

ولما بلغ أشده واستوى آتيناه حكما وعلما وكذلك نجزي المحسنين

28:15. (One day,) he entered the city (in Egypt) at a time of being unnoticed by its people. He found two men fighting there, one from among his followers (i.e. the Children of Israel) and the other from his enemies (i.e. the people of Pharaoh). The one from his followers sought his help against the one from his enemies. So Musa (Moses) punched him and put him to death. He said: ‘This is Satan’s doing. Indeed, he is an enemy (who) openly misguides.’

ودخل المدينة على حين غفلة من أهلها فوجد فيها رجلين يقتتلان هذا من شيعته وهذا من عدوه فاستغاثه الذي من شيعته على الذي من عدوه فوكزه موسى فقضى عليه قال هذا من عمل الشيطان إنه عدو مضل مبين

28:16. He said: ‘My Lord! I have wronged myself. Forgive me.’ So He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Most-Forgiving, the All-Merciful.

قال رب إني ظلمت نفسي فاغفر لي فغفر له إنه هو الغفور الرحيم

28:17. He said: ‘My Lord! As You have blessed me, I shall never be a supporter of the guilty.’

قال رب بما أنعمت علي فلن أكون ظهيرا للمجرمين

28:18. He rose early in the morning, fearful and vigilant in the city, when the man who had sought his help the day before suddenly cried out to him (once again). Musa said to him: ‘You are a clear troublemaker.’

فأصبح في المدينة خائفا يترقب فإذا الذي استنصره بالأمس يستصرخه قال له موسى إنك لغوي مبين

28:19. As he desired to strike the man who was an enemy to them both, he said: ‘Musa (Moses)! Do you want to kill me as you killed a person yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land, and you do not want to be among the reformers.’

فلما أن أراد أن يبطش بالذي هو عدو لهما قال يا موسى أتريد أن تقتلني كما قتلت نفسا بالأمس إن تريد إلا أن تكون جبارا في الأرض وما تريد أن تكون من المصلحين

28:20. Then a man came running from the remotest part of the city. He said: ‘Musa (Moses)! The authorities are conspiring against you, that they might kill you. So leave (this city). Surely, I am among your well-wishers.’

وجاء رجل من أقصى المدينة يسعى قال يا موسى إن الملأ يأتمرون بك ليقتلوك فاخرج إني لك من الناصحين

28:21. So he left from there, fearing (and) waiting (for Allah’s help). He said: ‘My Lord! Save me from the wrongdoing people.’

فخرج منها خائفا يترقب قال رب نجني من القوم الظالمين

28:22. As he turned towards Madyan (Midian), he said: ‘I hope my Lord will guide me to the right way.’

ولما توجه تلقاء مدين قال عسى ربي أن يهديني سواء السبيل

28:23. When he arrived at the well of Madyan, he found a crowd of people watering (their flocks). He noticed two women keeping (their flocks) back beside them. He said: ‘What is the matter with you two?’ They said: ‘We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take their flocks away, for our father is a very old man.’

ولما ورد ماء مدين وجد عليه أمة من الناس يسقون ووجد من دونهم امرأتين تذودان قال ما خطبكما قالتا لا نسقي حتى يصدر الرعاء وأبونا شيخ كبير

28:24. So he watered (their flocks) for them. Then he went back to the shade and said: ‘My Lord! I am surely in (desperate) need of any good You may send down to me.’

فسقى لهما ثم تولى إلى الظل فقال رب إني لما أنزلت إلي من خير فقير

28:25. Then one of the two (girls) came to him, walking modestly. She said: ‘Indeed, my father invites you so he may reward you for watering (the flocks) for us. So when he came to him (i.e. Shu‘ayb) and told him (his) story, he said: ‘Do not fear. You are secure from the wrongdoing people.’

فجاءته إحداهما تمشي على استحياء قالت إن أبي يدعوك ليجزيك أجر ما سقيت لنا فلما جاءه وقص عليه القصص قال لا تخف نجوت من القوم الظالمين

28:26. One of the two girls said: ‘Father! Hire him. Indeed, the best (man) you can hire is the strong, the trustworthy.’

قالت إحداهما يا أبت استأجره إن خير من استأجرت القوي الأمين

28:27. He said (to Moses): ‘Indeed I desire to marry you to one of these two daughters of mine, on the condition that you hire yourself to serve me for eight years. But if you complete ten, then that will be up to you. And I do not want to be hard on you. God-willing, you will find me to be among the righteous.’

قال إني أريد أن أنكحك إحدى ابنتي هاتين على أن تأجرني ثماني حجج فإن أتممت عشرا فمن عندك وما أريد أن أشق عليك ستجدني إن شاء الله من الصالحين

28:28. He (Moses) said: ‘This is (an agreement) between you and me. Whichever of the two terms I complete, there will be no unfairness towards me. And Allah is a Guardian over what we say.’

قال ذلك بيني وبينك أيما الأجلين قضيت فلا عدوان علي والله على ما نقول وكيل

28:29. So when Musa (Moses) completed the term and set out with his family, he perceived a fire on the side of the Mount (Tur). He said to his family: ‘Wait (here)! Indeed, I see a fire. Maybe I will bring you some news from there, or (I may bring you) a firebrand so that you may warm yourselves.’

فلما قضى موسى الأجل وسار بأهله آنس من جانب الطور نارا قال لأهله امكثوا إني آنست نارا لعلي آتيكم منها بخبر أو جذوة من النار لعلكم تصطلون

28:30. So when he came to it, he was called from the right bank of the valley, at the blessed site through the tree: ‘Musa (Moses)! Indeed, I am Allah, the Lord of worlds.

فلما أتاها نودي من شاطئ الوادي الأيمن في البقعة المباركة من الشجرة أن يا موسى إني أنا الله رب العالمين

28:31. Throw down your staff!’ But when he saw it moving and slithering like a snake, he turned back, retreating, without looking behind. (Allah said:) ‘Musa (Moses)! Come forward and do not fear. Indeed, you are among those who are secure.

وأن ألق عصاك فلما رآها تهتز كأنها جان ولى مدبرا ولم يعقب يا موسى أقبل ولا تخف إنك من الآمنين

28:32. Put your hand inside the opening of your garment; it will emerge white without any disease, and keep your arms pressed close to your sides to remove fear. These are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his council. They are indeed a transgressing people.’

اسلك يدك في جيبك تخرج بيضاء من غير سوء واضمم إليك جناحك من الرهب فذانك برهانان من ربك إلى فرعون وملئه إنهم كانوا قوما فاسقين

28:33. He said: ‘My Lord! Indeed, I have killed one of their men, so I fear they will kill me.

قال رب إني قتلت منهم نفسا فأخاف أن يقتلون

28:34. And my brother, Harun (Aaron)—he is more eloquent than me in speech. So send him with me as a helper to verify me, for I fear they would reject me.’

وأخي هارون هو أفصح مني لسانا فأرسله معي ردءا يصدقني إني أخاف أن يكذبون

28:35. He (Allah) said: ‘We will strengthen your arm through your brother. And We will grant you both a dominating authority, so they shall not be able to touch you both. With (the help of) Our signs, you and those who follow you shall be the victors.

قال سنشد عضدك بأخيك ونجعل لكما سلطانا فلا يصلون إليكما بآياتنا أنتما ومن اتبعكما الغالبون

28:36. So when Musa (Moses) came to them with Our clear signs, they said: ‘This is nothing but fabricated magic. And We have never heard of such a thing among our forefathers.’

فلما جاءهم موسى بآياتنا بينات قالوا ما هذا إلا سحر مفترى وما سمعنا بهذا في آبائنا الأولين

28:37. And Musa (Moses) said: ‘My Lord knows best who brings guidance from Him, and whose shall be the good end in the final abode. Indeed, the wrongdoers will not prosper.’

وقال موسى ربي أعلم بمن جاء بالهدى من عنده ومن تكون له عاقبة الدار إنه لا يفلح الظالمون

28:38. And Pharaoh said: ‘O chief councillors! I know of no other god for you but myself. So, kindle for me a fire, O Haman, to bake clay bricks. Then build me a tower so that I may take a look at Musa’s God. And most surely, I think he is among the liars.’

وقال فرعون يا أيها الملأ ما علمت لكم من إله غيري فأوقد لي يا هامان على الطين فاجعل لي صرحا لعلي أطلع إلى إله موسى وإني لأظنه من الكاذبين

28:39. He and his forces behaved arrogantly in the land with no right and thought they would not be returned to Us.

واستكبر هو وجنوده في الأرض بغير الحق وظنوا أنهم إلينا لا يرجعون

28:40. So We seized him and his forces and threw them into the sea. And see how (terrible) was the end of the tyrants!

فأخذناه وجنوده فنبذناهم في اليم فانظر كيف كان عاقبة الظالمين

28:41. So We made them (such) leaders who invite (others) only to the Fire. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be helped.

وجعلناهم أئمة يدعون إلى النار ويوم القيامة لا ينصرون

28:42. And We caused them to be followed by a curse in this world. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will be among the repugnant.

وأتبعناهم في هذه الدنيا لعنة ويوم القيامة هم من المقبوحين

28:43. Indeed, We gave Musa (Moses) the Book after We had destroyed the earlier generations, as (a set of) eye-openers for the people, and as guidance and mercy so that they might become mindful of advice.

ولقد آتينا موسى الكتاب من بعد ما أهلكنا القرون الأولى بصائر للناس وهدى ورحمة لعلهم يتذكرون

28:44. And you were not (present) at the western side (of Mount Sinai) when We revealed the commandment to Musa (Moses), nor were you among the witnesses (of these events).

وما كنت بجانب الغربي إذ قضينا إلى موسى الأمر وما كنت من الشاهدين

28:45. But We brought forth many generations (successively after Moses). Then, long ages passed over them. And you were not living among the people of Madyan reciting to them Our verses, but We are the senders (of the prophets with news of the Unseen).

ولكنا أنشأنا قرونا فتطاول عليهم العمر وما كنت ثاويا في أهل مدين تتلوا عليهم آياتنا ولكنا كنا مرسلين

28:46. And you were not on the side of the Mount when We called out (to Moses). But (We have sent you as) a mercy from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, so that they may become mindful of advice.

وما كنت بجانب الطور إذ نادينا ولكن رحمة من ربك لتنذر قوما ما أتاهم من نذير من قبلك لعلهم يتذكرون

28:47. And (We did so) lest a disaster strikes them because of what their hands have sent forth—they would say: ‘Our Lord! Why did You not send a messenger to us so that we could have followed Your revelations and been among the believers?’

ولولا أن تصيبهم مصيبة بما قدمت أيديهم فيقولوا ربنا لولا أرسلت إلينا رسولا فنتبع آياتك ونكون من المؤمنين

28:48. But when the truth came to them from Us, they said: ‘Why has he not been given (signs) like those given to Musa (Moses)?’ Did they not disbelieve in what Musa (Moses) was given before? They said: ‘Two magicians supporting each other.’ And they said: ‘We refuse to believe any of them.’

فلما جاءهم الحق من عندنا قالوا لولا أوتي مثل ما أوتي موسى أولم يكفروا بما أوتي موسى من قبل قالوا سحران تظاهرا وقالوا إنا بكل كافرون

28:49. Say: ‘Then produce some (other) book from Allah, which is better in guidance than both of them, so that I may follow it if you are truthful.’

قل فأتوا بكتاب من عند الله هو أهدى منهما أتبعه إن كنتم صادقين

28:50. But if they do not answer you, then know that they follow only their desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his base desires without any guidance from Allah? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

فإن لم يستجيبوا لك فاعلم أنما يتبعون أهواءهم ومن أضل ممن اتبع هواه بغير هدى من الله إن الله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين

28:51. Indeed, We have caused the Word to reach them so that they may become mindful of advice.

ولقد وصلنا لهم القول لعلهم يتذكرون

28:52. Those to whom We gave the Book before it—they are the ones who believe in it.

الذين آتيناهم الكتاب من قبله هم به يؤمنون

28:53. When it is recited to them, they say: ‘We believe in it. It is surely the truth from our Lord. Indeed, we were the ones who submitted (even) before it (came).’

وإذا يتلى عليهم قالوا آمنا به إنه الحق من ربنا إنا كنا من قبله مسلمين

28:54. These (believers) will be given their reward two times for having been patient. They repel evil with good and spend (in charity) from what We have provided them.

أولئك يؤتون أجرهم مرتين بما صبروا ويدرؤون بالحسنة السيئة ومما رزقناهم ينفقون

28:55. And when they hear vain talk, they turn away from it and say: ‘Our deeds belong to us, and your deeds belong to you. Peace be upon you! We do not seek (the company of) ignorant people.’

وإذا سمعوا اللغو أعرضوا عنه وقالوا لنا أعمالنا ولكم أعمالكم سلام عليكم لا نبتغي الجاهلين

28:56. You cannot guide whomever you wish, but Allah guides whomever He wills. And He knows best who are (rightly) guided.

إنك لا تهدي من أحببت ولكن الله يهدي من يشاء وهو أعلم بالمهتدين

28:57. They say: ‘If we follow the guidance with you, we shall be snatched away from our land.’ Have We not established a secure Sanctuary (i.e. Mecca) for them, where fruits of all kinds are brought as a provision from Us? But most of them do not know.

وقالوا إن نتبع الهدى معك نتخطف من أرضنا أولم نمكن لهم حرما آمنا يجبى إليه ثمرات كل شيء رزقا من لدنا ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون

28:58. How many a town have We destroyed who were spoiled by their (high standard of) living? So these are their (ruined) houses that were never inhabited after them except a few. And We are the (sole) Inheritors.

وكم أهلكنا من قرية بطرت معيشتها فتلك مساكنهم لم تسكن من بعدهم إلا قليلا وكنا نحن الوارثين

28:59. And your Lord would never destroy the towns until He had raised a messenger in their mother city to recite to them Our Verses. And We would never destroy the towns except when their people were wrongdoers.

وما كان ربك مهلك القرى حتى يبعث في أمها رسولا يتلوا عليهم آياتنا وما كنا مهلكي القرى إلا وأهلها ظالمون

28:60. And whatever things you have been given are only the (temporary) enjoyments of the life of this world and its glamour. But whatever lies with Allah is better and more lasting. Do you not then understand?

وما أوتيتم من شيء فمتاع الحياة الدنيا وزينتها وما عند الله خير وأبقى أفلا تعقلون

28:61. Can the person to whom We have given a good promise, which he will receive, be like him whom We have provided the (momentary) enjoyment in the life of this world, then, on the Day of Resurrection, he shall be among those who are summoned (to account for their deeds)?

أفمن وعدناه وعدا حسنا فهو لاقيه كمن متعناه متاع الحياة الدنيا ثم هو يوم القيامة من المحضرين

28:62. And on the Day, He will call out to them and say: ‘Where are My partners whom you used to claim?’

ويوم يناديهم فيقول أين شركائي الذين كنتم تزعمون

28:63. Those (deviant leaders) against whom the decree (of torment) will be passed will say: ‘Our Lord! These (followers) are the ones whom we caused to deviate. We led them into deviance, for we were deviant ourselves. We disassociate ourselves (from them) before You. It was not us whom they worshipped. (Rather they worshipped their lusts).’

قال الذين حق عليهم القول ربنا هؤلاء الذين أغوينا أغويناهم كما غوينا تبرأنا إليك ما كانوا إيانا يعبدون

28:64. It will be said (to the disbelievers): ‘Invoke your (self-made) partner-gods (for help)!’ So they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And they will see the punishment, wishing they had followed guidance!

وقيل ادعوا شركاءكم فدعوهم فلم يستجيبوا لهم ورأوا العذاب لو أنهم كانوا يهتدون

28:65. The Day when He will call out to them and say: ‘What response did you give to the messengers?’

ويوم يناديهم فيقول ماذا أجبتم المرسلين

28:66. On that Day, all information shall be blacked out for them so they cannot question one another.

فعميت عليهم الأنباء يومئذ فهم لا يتساءلون

28:67. As for him who repents, believes and acts righteously, perhaps he will be among the successful.

فأما من تاب وآمن وعمل صالحا فعسى أن يكون من المفلحين

28:68. And your Lord creates whatever He wishes and chooses. They have no choice. Glory be to Allah, and Exalted is He above any partners they ascribe (to Him).

وربك يخلق ما يشاء ويختار ما كان لهم الخيرة سبحان الله وتعالى عما يشركون

28:69. And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they reveal.

وربك يعلم ما تكن صدورهم وما يعلنون

28:70. And He is Allah—there is no god except Him. All praise belongs to Him in this world and the Hereafter. (Final) judgement belongs to Him. And to Him, you shall be returned.

وهو الله لا إله إلا هو له الحمد في الأولى والآخرة وله الحكم وإليه ترجعون

28:71. Say: ‘Tell me: If Allah were to make the night perpetual over you till the Day of Resurrection, what god besides Allah could bring you light? Will you not then listen?’

قل أرأيتم إن جعل الله عليكم الليل سرمدا إلى يوم القيامة من إله غير الله يأتيكم بضياء أفلا تسمعون

28:72. Say: ‘Tell me: If Allah were to make the day perpetual over you till the Day of Resurrection, what god besides Allah could bring you night, in which you could rest? Will you not then see?’

قل أرأيتم إن جعل الله عليكم النهار سرمدا إلى يوم القيامة من إله غير الله يأتيكم بليل تسكنون فيه أفلا تبصرون

28:73. Out of His mercy, He has made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and seek from His grace so that you may be grateful.

ومن رحمته جعل لكم الليل والنهار لتسكنوا فيه ولتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون

28:74. On that Day, He will call out to them and say: ‘Where are my partners whom you used to claim?’

ويوم يناديهم فيقول أين شركائي الذين كنتم تزعمون

28:75. And We shall draw from every community a witness and say: ‘Produce your evidence.’ Then they will know that all truth belongs to Allah, and what they used to fabricate will depart from them.

ونزعنا من كل أمة شهيدا فقلنا هاتوا برهانكم فعلموا أن الحق لله وضل عنهم ما كانوا يفترون

28:76. Indeed, Qarun (Korah) belonged to the people of Musa (Moses), but he rebelled against them. And We had given him so many treasures that their keys would be a heavy burden for a group of strong men. When his people said to him: ‘Do not be proud (of your wealth). Indeed, Allah does not like the boastful.

إن قارون كان من قوم موسى فبغى عليهم وآتيناه من الكنوز ما إن مفاتحه لتنوء بالعصبة أولي القوة إذ قال له قومه لا تفرح إن الله لا يحب الفرحين

28:77. Rather seek (the reward of) the abode of the Hereafter through what Allah has given you, and do not neglect your rightful share of this world. And be good (to others) as Allah has been good to you. And do not seek to spread corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like the corruptors.’

وابتغ فيما آتاك الله الدار الآخرة ولا تنس نصيبك من الدنيا وأحسن كما أحسن الله إليك ولا تبغ الفساد في الأرض إن الله لا يحب المفسدين

28:78. He said: ‘I have indeed been given (all) this (wealth) because of the knowledge (and expertise) I possess.’ Did he not know that Allah had already destroyed before him many generations who were far mightier than him in power and greater in accumulating (wealth)? And the guilty will not be questioned about (their excuse for) their sins.

قال إنما أوتيته على علم عندي أولم يعلم أن الله قد أهلك من قبله من القرون من هو أشد منه قوة وأكثر جمعا ولا يسأل عن ذنوبهم المجرمون

28:79. So he emerged before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the life of this world said: ‘We wish we had the likes of what Qarun (Korah) has been given! Indeed, he is a possessor of great fortune.’

فخرج على قومه في زينته قال الذين يريدون الحياة الدنيا يا ليت لنا مثل ما أوتي قارون إنه لذو حظ عظيم

28:80. But those gifted with knowledge said: ‘Woe to you! Allah’s reward is better for someone who believes and acts righteously. But no one will receive it except the patient.’

وقال الذين أوتوا العلم ويلكم ثواب الله خير لمن آمن وعمل صالحا ولا يلقاها إلا الصابرون

28:81. So We caused the earth to swallow him and his house. And he had no group that could help him apart from Allah, nor could he defend himself.

فخسفنا به وبداره الأرض فما كان له من فئة ينصرونه من دون الله وما كان من المنتصرين

28:82. The next morning, those who had longed to be in his place the day before began to say: ‘Alas! It seems Allah provides abundantly to whom He wills among His servants and tightens it. Had Allah not been gracious to us, He would have also caused us to be swallowed. Alas! It seems the disbelievers will not prosper.’

وأصبح الذين تمنوا مكانه بالأمس يقولون ويكأن الله يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء من عباده ويقدر لولا أن من الله علينا لخسف بنا ويكأنه لا يفلح الكافرون

28:83. That is the Abode of the Hereafter. We grant it to those who desire neither dominance upon the earth nor corruption. And the good end belongs to those who are God-conscious.

تلك الدار الآخرة نجعلها للذين لا يريدون علوا في الأرض ولا فسادا والعاقبة للمتقين

28:84. Whosoever brings a good deed, he shall receive (a reward) better than it. But whoever produces evil deed—those who commit misdeeds shall not be rewarded except for what they used to perform.

من جاء بالحسنة فله خير منها ومن جاء بالسيئة فلا يجزى الذين عملوا السيئات إلا ما كانوا يعملون

28:85. Indeed, the One Who has ordained the Qur’an for you will surely bring you back to the place of return (i.e. Mecca). Say: ‘My Lord knows best who has come with guidance and who is in manifest error.’

* This Verse was revealed at Hajfa whilst migrating from Mecca on the way to Medina. This promise was fulfilled on the day of the Meccan Victory.

إن الذي فرض عليك القرآن لرادك إلى معاد قل ربي أعلم من جاء بالهدى ومن هو في ضلال مبين

28:86. You did not hope that the Book would be delivered to you. But it was a mercy from your Lord. So do not ever be an advocate of the disbelievers (to protect them from My torment).

وما كنت ترجوا أن يلقى إليك الكتاب إلا رحمة من ربك فلا تكونن ظهيرا للكافرين

28:87. Do not ever let them bar you from (conveying) Allah’s revelations after they have been sent down to you. Invite (all) to (the way of) your Lord, and never be among the polytheists.

ولا يصدنك عن آيات الله بعد إذ أنزلت إليك وادع إلى ربك ولا تكونن من المشركين

28:88. And do not worship another god besides Allah. There is no god except Him. Everything is bound to perish except Him (i.e. His Pre-Eternal Being). All authority belongs to Him, and to Him, you (all) shall be returned.

ولا تدع مع الله إلها آخر لا إله إلا هو كل شيء هالك إلا وجهه له الحكم وإليه ترجعون
